Minimize (Japanese: ちいさくなる Shrink) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

A minimized Pokémon in Generations I and II

Generation I

Minimize raises the user's evasion stat by one stage and replaces the user's regular image with a tiny, generic image until the user faints or is switched out, or the battle ends.

Generation II

Pokémon that have used Minimize will receive double damage when hit by Stomp.

Generation III

Pokémon that have used Minimize will now receive double damage when hit by Stomp, Astonish, Extrasensory, and Needle Arm.

Pokémon that have used Minimize no longer have their sprite replaced with a tiny generic image.

Generation IV

Stomp is now the only move that will have its power doubled (instead of damage) against a Pokémon that has used Minimize; Astonish, Extrasensory, and Needle Arm deal regular damage.

Generation V

Minimize now raises the user's evasion by two stages.

Pokémon that have used Minimize will now receive double damage (instead of power being doubled) from Stomp and Steamroller.

Generation VI

Minimize's PP changed from 20 to 10.

The moves Body Slam, Dragon Rush, Flying Press, Heat Crash, Phantom Force, Shadow Force, Steamroller, and Stomp will now bypass accuracy checks and deal double the damage when used against a Pokémon that has used Minimize.

Generation VII

In addition to Body Slam, Dragon Rush, Flying Press, Heat Crash, Steamroller, and Stomp, the moves Heavy Slam and Malicious Moonsault now also bypass accuracy checks and deal double the damage when used against a Pokémon that has used Minimize; Phantom Force and Shadow Force no longer bypass accuracy checks and deal regular damage.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Minimize, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.
